“How long shall I go along this lonely road ” As soon as he thought he must spend his life riding the bike on the dusty road with no flower or tree, he felt somewhat sorry.
One day when he finished delivering the letters and was ready to return, he happened to pass by a flower shop. “Right, that’s it!” He walked into the shop, bought a handful of wild flower seeds (种子), and from the next day on put these seeds along the roadside. Thus, after one day, two days, one month, two months… he always kept putting the wild flower seeds along the roadside.
Before long, on the lonely road, where he had come and gone for 20 years, grew up a lot of little flowers, in all seasons endlessly.

What’s your dream job How much do you know about it A group of students from Tianjin found a common (常见的) problem among teenagers: Most of them have little idea about their plans for jobs.
To guide teenagers to make job plans, the students started a project. “Our survey shows 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors are the top one followed by teachers, accountants, policemen and so on,” said Wang Xinran, the project leader.
The team interviewed 32 professionals (专业人士) in different fields and posted their interviews online. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs fully.
A team member Lu Jinyan said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I know they have to solve lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or the hurt to the camera,” Lu said. “They also need to communicate with different people, which is not easy.”
But the project doesn’t mean to let the students down by telling them the truth. “We want to show the professionals’ love and hard work rather than the bad sides.” said a member Zhao Yajie. “Jobs can not only enrich (丰富) teenagers’ life experiences, but help them make progress (进步) quickly. They are the real meaning of working. We really hope our project can help students know that.”

When you look at a piece of Chinese paper-cutting, you might notice its beautiful patterns—but hidden in those lines are special numbers that have been passed down for hundreds of years. These numbers aren’t just for counting; they carry cultural meanings and make the artworks balanced and meaningful.
Take the “double happiness” (双喜) paper-cutting, a common design for weddings, as an example. The pattern is made of 10 small squares: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 2 in the middle. Why 10 In Chinese culture, 10 stands for “perfection”—it comes from the idea that “heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,” combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness. Also, the two “xi” (喜) characters in “double happiness” each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent “24 solar terms” in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years.
Another classic design is the “lotus with fish” (荷花鱼). The lotus flower in the cut has 16 petals (花瓣). Old paper-cutters say 16 is a “lucky even number”—it’s double 8, and 8 is connected to “prosperity” (wealth) because the Chinese character for 8 looks like it’s opening up, suggesting growth and expansion. The fish next to the lotus has 5 fins: 2 on its back, 2 on its sides, and 1 on its tail. The number 5 here represents the “five elements” (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in Chinese philosophy. It’s believed that if the five elements are in balance, the family will be healthy and free from misfortune.
However, keeping these number rules alive is getting hard. Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier. To protect this tradition, some craftsmen now write down the number secrets in books and teach them in workshops. They don’t just show how to cut the shapes; they explain the connections between numbers and ancient beliefs, hoping that the next generation will not only cut beautiful paper but also carry on the cultural wisdom in the numbers.
29．Why does the number 10 symbolize “perfection” in the “double happiness” paper-cutting
A．It matches the 10 small squares in the pattern’s structure.
B．It comes from the ancient idea of “heaven (9) + earth (1) = wholeness.”
C．It represents the 10 layers of meaning in wedding traditions.
D．It is the total number of strokes of the two “xi” characters.
30．What can we infer about young people’s simplified paper-cut designs
A．They make the designs more popular among foreign audiences.
B．They help pass down the cultural meaning of the original numbers.
C．They may lead to the loss of the hidden number-related wisdom.
D．They show young people’s creativity in improving traditional crafts.
31．The writer mentions the “24 solar terms” and “five elements” in the passage to ________.
A．prove that Chinese paper-cutting is older than other traditional arts
B．explain why the numbers in paper-cutting have cultural value
C．compare different cultural symbols used in wedding and daily designs
D．show how paper-cutting patterns guide people’s farming and daily life
32．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Ancient Chinese beliefs about numbers have changed the way paper-cutting is made.
B．Chinese paper-cutting’s hidden numbers carry cultural wisdom but face risks of not being passed down.
C．The “double happiness” and “lotus with fish” are the most important paper-cutting designs.
D．Craftsmen are trying to save traditional paper-cutting by writing down cutting techniques.

Chinese painting is one of the oldest forms of painting in the world. Chinese artists first began painting more than two thousand years ago, and painters in China are still using many of the same ways of painting today.
Chinese painters often paint natural scenes, animals or people. Buildings are hardly seen, unless they make up a small part of a natural scene.
There are two styles (风格) of traditional Chinese paintings. The first is the Gongbi style. This style of painting takes a lot of time to make, as everything is painted very carefully in great detail (细节). This style often uses a lot of colors as well. Long ago, most professional painters in China used the Gongbi style.
The second style of Chinese painting is Xieyi, also named ink and wash painting. Ink and wash paintings are done very quickly, and may not always have many colors. Xieyi paintings also have less detail, because the painter is trying to get across the impression (印象) of the scene with just a few brush strokes (笔画).
Long ago, most ink and wash artists did not work as painters, but painted as a hobby. However, a good ink and wash artist could still become famous.
41．When did Chinese painters start to use some ways of painting
A．Over 1000 years ago. B．Less than 1000 years ago. C．Over 2000 years ago. D．Less than 2000 years ago.

①In summer, people use their fans to cool themselves off. But the Chinese fan is not just a tool to help people cool themselves down. It’s an important part of Chinese culture.
②Chinese fans have a history of over 3,000 years. One of the earliest known “fans” was named shanhan (扇汗). They weren’t like the fans we see today. People used them to hide from the sun and protect themselves from the rain in a horse-drawn carriage (马车). Shanhan then changed into a long-handled fan called zhangshan (障扇). This type of fan was made of silk or bird feathers and was mainly used by the king’s honour guard (仪仗队) for decoration.
③In the Han Dynasty, more common people started using fans because cheaper bamboo fans had been made. These fans stayed popular until the Tang and Song Dynasties. At the same time, a new type of silk fans was also brought in. Young women loved silk fans because they were round, resembling the moon. They were also called “round fans” or tuanshan.
④The ribs (扇骨) of these silk round fans were made of bamboo or animal bones. The handles of the fans usually had different designs. The main part of the fan often had calligraphy (书法) works and painted scenes, like mountains or flowers. Folding fans mainly had panels (扇面) and ribs. For the ribs, people used different kinds of materials, including wood, animal bones and bamboo. The panels of the folding fan were usually made of paper, silk or other materials. They left empty spaces for artists to paint on. Their calligraphy works and painted scenes added colour to the fans.
⑤From the Song Dynasty, fan painting became a special kind of art. Fans with pictures of birds and flowers on them were popular among young women. Men, however, liked fans decorated with calligraphy works. Mythical (神话的) creatures were also popular. Dragons were often painted onto men’s fans while ladies usually preferred phoenixes (凤凰).

Shu embroidery (蜀绣) is one of China’s four famous embroidery styles—known for its bright colors and nice stitches (针脚). It has a long history and is an important part of Chinese culture. Chen Hongying is a well-known person who passes down this traditional art.
Chen Hongying’s love for embroidery began when she was a child, watching her grandmother and mother create beautiful patterns (图案) with needles and threads. In 2008, she went to Chengdu to learn Shu embroidery from Master Zeng Xiangfen. She worked hard, even though her fingers were often hurt by needles. Her strong will and her love for embroidery made her keep going.
It is true that the way is full of challenges, and Chen has done a lot of good things. First, she put together the skills of Shu embroidery and Su embroidery to create a special style. She also created a 3D embroidery picture of Marshal (元帅) Chen Yi, which took her seven years to complete. This work used 30 different embroidery stitches and showed the marshal’s great spirit. What’s more, she began training hundreds of people in her hometown of Lezhi in 2011, which helped the local women find jobs. With enough support, she has taken Shu embroidery to other cities and countries, such as Melbourne, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, sharing the beauty of this traditional art with the world.
Chen Hongying believes that passing down traditional culture is not just about copying the old ways. “It is not about being a copy machine,” she says. It’s about understanding the importance of the tradition and then adding something new to it. She will keep working on Shu embroidery until she can no longer hold a needle.

C．Humorous and well-educated. D．Creative and strong-minded.
51．What does Chen think of passing down traditional culture
A．Copying old patterns perfectly. B．Teaching as many people as possible.
C．Understanding tradition while developing it. D．Spreading traditions to other countries.
52．What is the writing purpose of the text
A．To describe embroidery steps.
B．To introduce Shu embroidery history.
C．To show Chen’s story of passing Shu embroidery on.
D．To compare different embroidery styles.

China has made a plan to help its people with weight control. Under the plan, there will be doctors working on diseases caused by obesity (肥胖症) in hospitals all over the country. They will give medical advice on how to lose weight. This shows China cares about people’s health.
Obesity has greatly increased in China over the past 40 years. People are eating more and exercising less. By 2021, more than 400 million adults were too heavy. According to a study in a medical magazine, this number will rise to 630 million by 2050.
Being heavy can be harmful to our health. It causes many diseases. Big cities, like Beijing and Shanghai have already started the fight against obesity. They use safe ways to help people lose weight. These include healthy diets and traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, people in the countryside also need help because obesity has been on the rise since 2005 in town and country areas.
We can see many ways to lose weight in social media. However, they can be dangerous. So China is now making medicine to help control weight safely.
The government is calling for the support of hotels, schools and businesses. For example, schools are teaching students about healthy eating. In some cities, junk food isn’t allowed to be sold at or near schools.

You want to live a happier life Try laughing for no reason. That’s how many people start their day at Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Yoga Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.”
A study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California shows that laughter reduces stress (减缓压力) and is very good for the heart. Laughter Yoga is used in many hospitals for the illness treatment and it is also practised in schools, factories and old people’s homes.
So what is Laughter Yoga I went to my nearest Laughter Yoga Club to find out. I was quite nervous about it. I didn’t like the idea of laughing with others. First, our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say, “Ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” He said our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they both work. After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real! We did different kinds of laughter exercises and finally I was surprised by how relaxed I felt.
So if you’re sad about something, just start laughing. As Dr Kataria says, “When you laugh, you change, and when you change, the world around you changes.”

64．What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage

C．To show us different ways of laughing. D．To tell us the man behind Laughter Yoga Club.
A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports are not going to be your future, you can still benefit from them.
First of all, sports are a good way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and happy. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Also, sports teach young people how to work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches so that they may have fewer problems with the coaches. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they may succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people walk out of their house. These days, a lot of people spend too much time on mobile phones and games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. Outdoor activities are important.
Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but it doesn’t matter (要紧), sports will help you become a better and happier person.
65．What do endorphins do when you exercise
A．Make you tired. B．Make you unhappy.
C．Make you feel happier. D．Help you play video games.
66．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to

B．If young people do more sports, they will have more problems.
C．It is important for you to go outside and exercise in the sun.
D．More indoor exercise can make people happy and healthy.
When I was in primary school, I was fat and didn’t like doing exercise. I felt tired and bored when doing any kind of exercise. I hardly did any exercise. I often felt sick and was absent from school, so I could hardly catch up with other students. And my poor health made it even more difficult for me to keep on exercising. The cycle repeated itself. My parents were really worried about me.
One day, after having supper, my father came and asked me to take a walk with him in the park. My father insisted that for people with very poor health, it was difficult to take up running and other sports at the beginning, but we could start with walking and increase endurance little by little. With his encouragement, I agreed and we went out together. It was hard for me to walk for half an hour and I wanted to give up, but my father encouraged me to keep on walking.
After that, I was often asked to walk with my parents. To my surprise, I could walk for an hour in the fourth month. ________I loved taking exercise gradually. Now I am a perfect runner in my middle school. I have lost all the fat and I am not weak any more. I take part in the school sports meeting every year.
My parents once told me that during all my life, I might face something difficult, but I shouldn’t be afraid of them. What I should do is to be brave when I face them. I finally understand that after I overcome what I am afraid of, I may find how great I am.

国家喊我们控制体重了！
In China, weight control has changed from a personal struggle to a government-supported effort. At a recent news conference (会议), Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, announced plans to set up more weight management clinics at medical facilities. This got much attention online. Social media platforms have strongly responded (回应) to this news.
China has a growing obesity problem. Over half of adults are overweight or obese, and if not controlled, the rate could reach 70.5% by 2030, bringing a huge economic burden (经济负担). To solve this, in 2024, the government launched a campaign to help with weight control in three years.
At weight management clinics, like the one at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, experts from different fields work together. They use methods like traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture (针灸), to help patients. However, there are risks, so proper oversight is needed.
While weight control clinics are new, sports and healthy eating have long been widely included in China’s increasingly healthy society—thanks to strong government advocacy (倡导). So besides clinics, outdoor activities and healthy eating are also needed. The government has built many stadiums and fitness trails. More people are doing outdoor sports like hiking. Families are spending more time outdoors, and sports equipment sells well.
The government also issued (发行) eating guidelines for obese adults. People are more calorie-conscious, choosing healthy food like salads and low-sugar drinks. Entrepreneurs (企业家) are making traditional food healthier. With the government’s efforts, China is taking various steps to deal with the obesity problem.
73．What can we infer from the fact that sports equipment sells well
A．People don’t like outdoor activities.
B．People are more interested in sports now.
C．The price of sports equipment is very low.
D．There are no other ways to keep healthy.
74．What does the underlined word “obese” in the second paragraph probably mean
A．Very fat. B．Very thin. C．Very tall. D．Very short.
75．What does the underlined part “People are more calorie-conscious” mean
A．People don’t care about calories at all.
B．People only eat food with a lot of calories.
C．People don’t think calories are important.
D．People are more aware of the calories in food.
76．Which of the following could be the best ending of this passage
A．And in the future, more and more people will surely become fatter.
B．But the obesity problem will never be solved in China.
C．China will see better results in solving the obesity problem.
D．The government will stop its efforts to deal with the obesity problem.
China has started a three-year “Weight Management Year (体重管理年)” plan from 2024 to 2027. This plan is to help people know the healthy weight is very important.
A recent study shows that about 15% of teenagers (青少年) in China now have weight problems. Why are so many teens getting fat Doctors say there are mainly two reasons. One big reason is their eating habits. Many teens love junk food. They often eat hamburgers, French fries and ice cream. These foods have lots of fat and sugar. The other reason is that they don’t exercise enough. Most teens spend a lot of time sitting in front of computers or mobile phones.
Being overweight causes serious health problems. Some teens often seem so tired and have trouble running. Some of them may develop heart problems later in life. Overweight teens sometimes feel shy about their bodies. They may be seen as lazy (懒惰的) or weak-willed. Some of their classmates may laugh at their weight. That makes them feel even worse about themselves.
The national plan includes activities, such as sports events and healthy eating plans. To help students, schools are making changes. Many schools now give students healthy lunches with vegetables, eggs and fish instead of fried food. Some fun activities take place in the school like dancing or basketball during the class break to help students move more. Enough sleep is also very important for the teens. Teens should get 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night. Parents and teachers hope these steps will help students stay healthy and happy.
77．What is the aim of “Weight Management Year” plan
A．To help people know the way to lose weight.
B．To help people know the changes in some schools.
C．To help people know the reasons for health problems.
D．To help people know the importance of healthy weight.
78．Why are so many teens getting fat
①They have heart problems. ②They love to eat junk food.
③They don’t exercise enough. ④They don’t have enough deep sleep.
A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．②④
79．What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Some teens have trouble running.
B．Some of the classmates laugh at them.
C．Some teens feel shy about their weight.
D．Some classmates don’t make friends with them.
80．Which is among the changes made by the schools

Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier.”可知，年轻人常简化设计（如将16瓣莲花改为8瓣），这虽便于制作，但可能忽略数字背后的文化含义，因此简化设计可能导致隐含的数字智慧失传。故选C。

They also send them on someone’s big day to carry people’s best wishes to their family or friends.”可知，指出人们通常在传统节日或喜庆日（如婚礼）送中国结，也会送给外国朋友以表友好，所以在探望病人时并不常见。故选C。
